2. so they want to control israel
CJK   (06.11.14)
this is the socialist-liberal agenda.
3. SHE IS PRETTY
Abel Halame El Hamon ,   Rhodesia   (06.11.14)
Woow, she is really pretty.
4. The Baroness isn't Jewish
Avi ,   Jerusalem   (06.11.14)
And neither is her Rothschild husband. Look them up and see for yourselves.
5. She is right
richard ,   France   (06.11.14)
once again the Rotschild 's family has a vision. It is high time for the Jewish people, and mainly in Israel to change our view with donations. Too much small organisations, no enough transparency and too much poverty. To make it simple, we have to change the way we operate. She is right, venture philotropy is one of the best way to challlenge the status quo
6. Jewish Security State
Zechariah   (06.11.14)
In WW2 the USA the Uk and the Stalins USSR put the saving of Jews from the Holocaust not high .Most of the Allied peoples had sympathy but National Power was number one and that meant defeating Nazi Germany .The Galut youth ought remember no great efforts were expended to save the Jews in Europe the Channel Islands or North Africa. There were tens of thousands of Gentiles that attempted to help rescuing At the Risk of even their Children's Lives .But National Military Policy Sabotaged Rather than Saved Jewish Rescue .
7. The Rothschild family
Dror ,   Haifa, Israel   (06.11.14)
Let me remind everyone what Rothschild literally translates into from German to English "RED SHIELD" The Shield of EDOM These people have been more of a curse than a blessing for the Jews. Herzl hated their guts and he wrote about it in his memoirs. This family snakishly slithered their way into Europe's Satanic Aristocracy. For all they donate and give to Israel the Jewish people have had to pay for with their blood, due to the hatred this family invites and inspires. Hitler won the minds of the Germans by stating clear facts about this families manipulations of Europe's finances. The Rothschilds will BURN IN HELL for all the damage they have caused the Jewish people. EREV RAV.. Baroness... YICHSA>>>>>
8. Most dependent on grants are the Haredim.
Michael ,   California, USA   (06.11.14)
They do not deserve the support and there is no return on investment in them. Naturally, they will claim they return through making many children, but it is an absurd claim. Children of parasites who remain parasites themselves, who live off grants and off country's welfare, who demand service but do not serve themselves, are an unnecessary load on the country.
9. Rothschild
Iletzter ,   Tel Aviv   (06.11.14)
Agree with every word. This is the right way to go.
10. multiplying the mitsva
Geoffrey max spiro ,   israel   (06.11.14)
Students who received scholarships MUST honor their sponsors, if not they are just more egotists with high degrees. This is the real education. Honoring you sponsor is becoming one yourself.
11. Israel is only for the hardest or the poorest
CJK   (06.11.14)
when the fascists or the muslims or the marxists start arriving in the 16th arrondissment, then maybe the philanthropists will appreciate israel for what she is, not for what they want her to be.
12. To make it short ,...
split ,   US   (06.11.14)
Roll up your sleeves and stop relying on handouts - There's a sign at every park entrance in US that says; 'Don't feed the animals, dependency kills'.
13. Again
Abel Halame El Hamon ,   Rhodesia   (06.11.14)
I still think that she is very good looking. We were born the same year and I look old and ugly, she looks young and pretty

split ,   US   (06.11.14)
I'm not exactly the Rothschild's fan but why don't you elaborate on the subject she dared to touch instead demonizing for her name and connections ,...
15. #14 polakus
Dror ,   Haifa, Israel   (06.12.14)
Why don't you do your own research polokus. There is plenty of info on this family available. Don't bother addressing me again polok, retards like yourself are just poor dumb animals born to be victimized and you don't even realize it polokus.
16. #7 Dror, a litany of thrash again, what for?
Michael ,   California, USA   (06.12.14)
You are hating everything and everybody. The US survives magnificently despite your predictions of calamities and so does the Rotschild family. Israel is indebted endlessly to the Rotschilds for country's establishment and continuation. The Rotschilds underwrote the entire Zionist movement at one time and that made it going. There were abuses by work supervisors during Aliya Shniya, but it was never established that Rotschilds ordered it or knew about it.
17. comments by Ariane de Rothschild
hazel ,   London, UK   (06.12.14)
I do find this person's comments rather patronising, and strange.I'm sure the Rothschilds have donated much money to different causes in Israel. But Israel is in no way grant-dependent. My children in Israel work extremely hard and pay their way, including paying a lot of tax. The Israeli economy is doing very well, because of the drive and talents of young people in the IT sector, not because of dole outs from patronising women who happened to have married wealthy men. Perhaps if Ariane was Jewish that might make a difference to her attitude towards Israel. What was most laughable about her ideas is her holding up Ronald Cohen as a philanthropist. This is the man behind Apax Partners who bought up Tnuva dairy industries and then put up the price of cottage cheese three times in one year. This caused the start of the social protests and brought out half a million people on to the streets of Tel Aviv. Such a philanthropist, ripping off ordinary Israelis via their food bills! Do me a favour Ariane.

"As Jews abroad struggle with their question: Are we Jews?,,,,,,,,,, answer flat out,,,,,, NO. Are we Zionist?,,,,,,,,, flat out Yes,,,,,,,,, plagiarizing off Hebrew Peoples history and the theft of their land. The Lady ask,,,, Are we Jews? The answer is,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,No. "Quotes" from a Khazar.

Spoken like a true national socialist. The article didn't mention a word about haredim, but mikey in california knows the truth. It's really helpful getting your sage advice from overseas. What would we do without you? Just one small recommendation. Next time, don't forget to add: "the haredim are your misfortune . . .!" -- like a certain notorious weekly used to do a few decades ago. I have changed the original slogan, but no matter: Jews/hareidim. It's all the same, right?
21. Philanthorpe - This is a Jewish Concept
Tova ,   Canada   (06.18.14)
GOD taught the people of Israel from the time of Abraham to share the wealth. Modern times call it philanthrope - Israel has never been dependent of philanthrope or charity. Christians give alot of Israel - it is mentioned in the New Testament. Many wealthy Jews give to strenghten Israel. In the end All Belongs to GOD. Rothschild is extremely wealthy - Jewish or Not is the issue - Giving is what is important.
